Definitely a must see for up close look at the beautiful nature of Tasmania. Length of the tour is very dependent on weather. Our tour was shorter because of rough sea but the tour gave us a voucher for lunch or the gift shop as a result so they were proactive about it. Despite the shorter tour it was still breathtaking.

Great shout to Clare (bus driver) for picking us up after we missed the pick up point location point. Got to see a white Wallaby (1st time seeing in 60 years in Aus) The boat ride was excellent. Caring staff handed out free sea sickness tables to those who might end needed them. Sea was a bit rough on our visit day. The team made sure to turn the boat around at significient viewing points to make sure everyone got a turn at photos shots. Loved the rock outcrop of Eagle Rock. Hand warmes handed out on the fast boat return run in the middle of winter. Nice touch.

The cruise was definitely the highlight of our Tasmania trip. The scenery along the coastline was breathtaking, with towering sea cliffs, sea caves and incredible rock formations. Seeing seals up close, spotting other native birds, and learning about the local wildlife from the knowledgeable crew made the experience unforgettable. The boat ride itself was so much fun, and the crew were friendly, professional and made everyone feel safe. Highly recommend!

The whole experience was magical! The tour guys were extremely knowledgeable about how the land formed and explained how the land will continue to shape. They knew where to locate sea life including seals which enabled us to get up close but safely to the wildlife. Even though the weather was wet and cold it was still a fantastic experience and I highly recommend !!
